Dear Reinholad,

I've created a VIP group and assign some people in it. My question is if it's possible to add rules concerning the VIP group?
Something like that : Name = "Free shipping"; group=VIP; Shipping = 0;

Best regards.

Dear Mediafaune,
There is currently no variable available that holds the shopper group. So you cannot use that inside your rules.

There is, however, a general condition on shopper groups for every shipping plugin (on the tab where you enter the shipping method name, etc.). Using this, you can simply set up two shipping methods, one for the VIP shopper group and one for all other.

Best regards,
Reinhold

Dear Reinhold,

Can you give me an example please?

Best regards.

You can restrict each shipping method by shopper group. So you would create one shipment method only for VIP users and one for all other shopper groups. In the VIP shipment method you select only the VIP shopper group, in the other shipping method you select all other shopper groups except VIP. Attached is a screenshot where you can find the shopper group configuration for a shipping method (that is a functionality of VM core and nothing my plugin offers in particular).


Best regards,
Reinhold

Reinhold, you rock thanks!
Problem solved.

Dear Mediafaune,
In our latest version 6.1.6 of the plugin, we have now also added the VM shopper groups and the Joomla user groups of the customer as list variables. So in your rules, you can now also access the two list variables ShopperGroups and Groups to check whether the customer is in a particular shopper group or joomla user group.

Best regards,
Reinhold

Hi Reinhold,

Do you have an example of how to use ShopperGroups and Groups to check whether the customer is in a particular shopper group or joomla user group?

Dear Eliot,
Let's assume your VIP shopper group has id 123, your Wholesaler shopper group has id 124 and your "Subscribers" Joomla group has group ID 444, then you can use these like:
